Chapter 480
“It’s not that I’m afraid. I just didn’t want to make things complicated and create unnecessary problems between
your sister and Mister Jeremy,” answered Corinne, looking at Lucas’ elegant and handsome face
in the rearview mirror.
Lucas squinted his eyes, looking relaxed and arrogant, then he sneered. “So you feel as long as you appear in front
of Jeremy, you’ll affect my sister and my future brother-in-law’s relationship. Is that so?” Corinne turned to look at
the scenery outside the window that was moving in reserves and said honestly, Mm-hmm. It will, more or less.”
Lucas curled his lips. “Miss Corinne, where did you get such confidence that made you feel you can compete with
Anya?
Corinne was neither humble nor arrogant when facing his mockery. She just smiled. “Mister Lucas, it’s very normal
for you to think that nobody can compete with your sister, whom you’ve doted on since childhood. For example, to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme, a man as outstanding as you, Mister Lucas, is just not as cute as the dog I’ve raised since childhood. It’s the
same principle!”
At that moment, the driver was pursing his lips as tightly as he could. He was so amused by what Corinne said
earlier, he almost could not hold it in and burst out laughing!
However, in the next second, he felt a chill down his spine. That was because he could feel the gloom and
unhappiness Lucas was exuding all over.
Truth be told, he was Lucas’s driver for more than a decade, yet he never heard an employee have the guts to say
that to Lucas.
Lucas was speechless.
He stared at Corinne’s face in the rearview mirror for a while, looking sullen. Then, he smiled again and said, “Do
tell me which is the part of you that you think s’enough to be compared to my sister.
Corinne looked young and childish, but she had a very strong and mature mind. Her confidence never wavered just
because other people criticized, questioned, and took a jab at her. She was completely. unfazed by all that.
She was confident, not the kind of confidence that comes from being blindly pompous, but clarity in self- knowledge
and self-assurance. It was the tenacity that stems from her hardships ever since young, her fearlessness toward
the future that was resulted from the adversities, and her nonchalance toward others ‘views and opinions of her.
“Of course, my circumstances are not better than Miss Anya’s. I don’t have a powerful family, a good, protective
brother, and the delicate beauty Miss Anya has as a result of being meticulously cared for like a flower in a
greenhouse.
“The biggest difference between me and your sister is that she is a delicate flower parasitically growing -by your
side while I am a wild plant growing independently on the cliff. There’s no doubt that Miss Anya is a lucky girl. She

“On the other hand, the environment. I grew up in made it so that I must grow into a big tree that could support

the vine would die once the tree does.
“I’ve gone through countless hardships since childhood. No matter what kind of environment I’m in, I can. live a
beautiful life by relying on the experiences and abilities I’ve gained.
“Therefore, I think that both Miss Anya and I each have our strengths, and I’m not lacking in anything.”
Looking at the rearview mirror, Lucas stared at the girl sitting in front who stated her strengths and weaknesses
objectively. This was the first time he saw a piercing radiance filled with life in a girl and felt. the power to strive to
be better exuded by her.
That unyielding and calm life force indeed was not something Anya had.
However, Anya did not need that kind of excessive strength. As long as he was around, Anya could enjoy the best of
everything in this world effortlessly.
Lucas did not argue with Corinne anymore. He just closed his eyes slowly to take a rest. “I hope your self-
knowledge is right, and you can grow into a big tree that will never collapse.”
Corinne smiled. “Thank you very much for your kind wishes, Mister Lucas,”
